Dreaming of Airwaves II

Another Icelandic-themed post inspired by the hot weather we’ve experienced this summer at Flippist World Headquarters.

I’ve been thinking back about the 2022 Iceland Airwaves crowds that I stayed away from, mostly, (although I caught Covid anyway).

 If I were to go again I’d have to make my mind up pretty soon—the supply of available, affordable and centrally  located lodging has been drying up ($500 a night hotel rooms are not an option!)

I did get some pictures of faces in those crowds, however, mostly from a balcony, but a few right in the thick of things.

The photographer’s dilemma: to capture the moment or to lose oneself to the reality of what is going on all around you:

While reviewing these image a sense of longing—the desire to be there—returns.

Oh, mommy, mommy
Please, may I go?
It's such a sight to see
Somebody steal the show
